How often should I service my outboard motor?

In coastal areas like St. Augustine, it’s crucial to service your outboard motor at least once a year or every 100 hours of use. Saltwater can be harsh on marine engines, so regular maintenance helps prevent corrosion and extend the life of your motor.

How can I tell if my carburetor needs cleaning or rebuilding?

If your engine is hard to start, idles poorly, or stalls under load, it may be time for a carburetor rebuild.

Basic checks can be done yourself, but professional service ensures proper diagnostics and performance.
